    Hunting. This game may be played by any number of boys or girls. While they were playing they select a counter and as he is counting he repeats a little verse and when he has it finished the one upon whom 3 falls hasto hunt. The verse is
    "As I went up the garden,
    I found a rusty farthing,
    I brought it to my mother,
    To buy a rusty brother,
    My brother was a sailor,
    A sailor of the sea,
    And all the fish that he could
    catch was one, two, three."
